I suspect that MALL will follow EGGS lead and soon concentrate on internet business/auctions. As you may recall EGGS warned of a loss/closing of its retail stores-its stock tanked to 5 1/2-where several large funds began accum. Eggs stock jumped in a couple weeks to 12 1/2 before settling back. So now MALL is also warning of a loss/closing its retail stores- the stock tanked to low 7s (also do in part to motley foolish mistakes). fnews.yahoo.com Sound familiar? See a pattern? One key differnce which makes MALL even stronger that they have a deal with AOL to carry their auctions. Just like ONSL To: Sandra (48 ) From: songw Saturday, Mar 28 1998 9:24AM EST Reply # of 49 I suspect that MALL will follow EGGS lead and soon concentrate on internet business/auctions.

Just like ONSL One last thing -this week's Business Week mentions that MALL's internet business is taking off "Call centers will be among the first to adopt multimedia networks, as they shift to the World Wide Web. In January, Creative Computers Inc. in Torrance, Calif., set up a function at its pcmall.com Web site that allows visitors to click on a button and establish a voice connection with a sales agent. The function has boosted sales dramatically, says Creative Computers Sales Director Jonathan Bumba. Agents can explain Web pages on the caller's screen, promote products, and take credit-card information." businessweek.com Buying opport- count me in
